For my daughter
How do we learn together what she's learning at school?
Riya's Wonder Lab
Picture-first science lessons and number games for a four-year-old. A grown-up reads, she taps and drags, and we work out the big ideas side by side.
Making new things approachable, one brick at a time.
I build small apps for my daughter and for myself. Science lessons we do together, the stories behind what we celebrate, Ayurveda I can finally understand, and a first sourdough loaf that doesn't feel overwhelming.
Projects
Each one started with a question.
For our culture
She saw a Ramayana play. Now she keeps asking why.
Riya's Ramayana
The story of Ram, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman in nine short picture chapters, so she knows what we celebrate and why. I read, and she taps each chapter along.
For me
When I was sick, my mom made ginger lemon water with cloves. I never knew why.
Ayu
Simple Ayurveda for today's weather. A few daily practices, food for hot, cold, dry or damp days, and care for colds and skin flares.
For the kitchen
Why does a first sourdough loaf feel so hard to start?
Anaaj
A sourdough companion that plans your bake around when you start and how warm your kitchen is. Pick a classic loaf, a whole wheat blend, or a ragi and wheat blend, and it walks you through each step.
How I build
From a question at home to a working app.
I'm a product person, not a full-time engineer. AI tools made the building part approachable too.
Start with a real question
Something my daughter asked, or something I never understood myself.
Sketch the smallest version
One page, plain language, pictures before words.
Build it with AI
Codex and Claude write the code with me. I decide what it should do and how it should feel.
Use it, then fix it
We try it at home. Whatever confuses us gets rebuilt.
About me
Hi, I'm Vaishali.
By day I'm a healthcare product leader. I've spent 15 years taking surgical robotics, clinical AI and cardiovascular devices from idea to the hospital floor.
At home I'm mom to a four-year-old who asks why about everything. These projects are where the two meet. I build them for us first, and share them in case they help your family too.
